There was more truth than many
imagined in his reply to the inquiry:
"What are you doing in Engiand7"
"Chiefiy playing poker with Duch-
esses."
The English nobility quickly "cot-
toned" TO Buffalo Bill because they
recognized that he belonged to .
niger order than their own-nAture's
nobility. Despite his. wild life he early
managed TO acquire an education and
the polish which makes him easy
even In royal society.
His polish is the bitter fruit, IL 10
said, Of . young love experience.
When young man on the plains.

with q dashing little school teacher.
Full Of pluck and faith In himself, he
proposed to her. She laughed at him,
and he-collapsed.
After time be braced up, bought
some BOOKS. and began to study.
His defeat proved his victory. The
girl was ihis mascot. and bis success
was due to her.

this statement Of Shoemaker's that

Buffalo Bill has pluck aud courage
and hard sense, and not only controls
all the wild elements that make up
the Wild West show, but controls
himself
His experience as q scout makes
him wary, discreet and shrewd. He
quickly learns the best way to secure
results, and like true man. has no

CAPITAL LETTER.
BOISE CITY. Feb. G L

BOISE CITY, Feb. 6, 1887.
ED. WORLD: The Alturas division
question is the all-absorbing question now
in Boise City The feeling is intense.
Lobbying is all the rage in the hotel. the
saloon, on the street and on every dark
corner and at all hours of the dav and
night. Men can be found in knots OF
twos, threes and dozens, all on the di.
vision question. HALEY is represented
here in strong force against division.
while Rocky Bar, Camas Prairie. Nom
trim Home Shoshone and even BelIerue
is here in favor Of division l sent you a
few days since the bill introduced IN the
House creating the county of Ehnore.
Since then new scheme has developed.
and the proposition now is to cut TWO
counties of Of Alturas. The matter viii
come up tomorrow in the shape of a sub
stitute creating the county of Elmore and
Logan, the. latter to take in Shoshone and
the lava beds. and as some one said in ar
guing the matter before the committee. all
the taxable property it will have will be
two straight rails through it, and the town
OF Shoshone on the ROCKS. The Legisla-
ture lin the House has developed a
strength of thirteen or fourteen in favor OF
division to ten or eleven against. The
fight is Of the most hitter nature. Boise
City generally is taking great interest in
favor OF division, and the small counties
generally favor the measure rs a matter of
selt-protection, as Aluras has shown a
domineering spirit and if they could get
a superintendent could. by forming a
combination with one or two other couu-
ties, control the Territory
1t is hard To tell how tae matter VIII
end. The fight in the House will be of a
most bitter nature, and think will only
end by Limitation Of the session, and fear
is going 10 clog the wheels OF legislation
in other important measures before the
L gislature. At the present time am una
bic to tell what the result will be. but hone
all will end for the best.
Yours truly,
J. CAVE.

HA1LsY TINES: A Washington
letter to the editor of the Times
states that the State of Washington,
which will include the present Terri
tory of Washington and the Idaho
Panhandle, will certainly be admitted
during the present session of Con-
gress, and that at the next session
the Nevada Senators will endeavor
to have the remainder of Idaho an
neXed to the Silver State, with every
prospect OF success.
There is also a scheme afoot to dis
member Utah, which will assume
shape by the next session of Congress.
The originators of the scheme pro
pose to divide Utah into two parts
on the line of the thrty-fourth paral-
lei Of longitude, and give the Eastern
portion to Colorado, and the Western
to Nevada. If this is done, Idaho
may preserve her autonomy: but if it
fails the "Gem of the Mountains
will undoubtedly become part of
Nevada.
